Would you hire a hard working person over a more knowledgeable person?
Person A: Hard working, always willing to learn. Doesn't have much knowledge, but works his butt off. Very dedicated to accomplishing the goal.
Person B: Knows 3 times (literally) more than person A, smarter and understands what's best. He's a thoughtful architect. But, he works half as much because he's lazy and doesn't care much.
Assuming you had to pick from one as the first hire, who would you pick?

I would generally take the hard working willing to learn dedicated person. I guess that is indicative of the environments that i work in which are based on teams. Someone who is really smart but lazy will cause problems within the team and therefore productivity will be reduced and you may lose other team members as a result of this.
Having said that I have employed the smart lazy person in the past for a specific product development where their knowledge was key to the technical solution, it caused a large increase in the time I needed to spend managing that project due to having to constantly spend time motivating the individual concerned but it led to a good result.
I guess it really depends on the role that you need them to fill and how much extra effort you are willing to accept to motivate the person.-
